Changing a few details

davey_h · October 2015

Hello,
I have been looking at the localizations docs and enabled the skeleton but I must be missing something. Nowhere have I seen the default text that is used on the forum.
I could not even see the text in the file used so I am sorry, I'm a bit lost!
All I want to do for now is:
1) Change the 'welcome to vanilla' text for login
2) Amend the 'Howdy Stranger' to guests
Please can someone give me a clue where I need to look or what I need to do?

Many thanks

By the way vanilla Admin
The help links in the local are no help and dont link to anything useful - just to cloud hosting!

Welcome to the community.

There is a Tutorials category, with a FAQ thread, for future reference.

A search of this site with 'Howdy stranger' will take you to a bunch of threads that deal with localization, including a link to a tutorial on this very issue.

Yes i agree, but there is only one good one that worked for me.

Create or Add this code to locale.php in the folder conf.
Next, add this code to it and customize to your liking.

$Definition['Howdy, Stranger!'] = 'Welcome To The Forums'; $Definition["GuestModule.Message"] = "You must Sign In or Register to participate in the Forums.";

If this is a new locale.php file, this needs to be added to the top.
<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

Good Luck.
